Rich brings up a great point about 1309 being the vehicle for fund raising. Where I am at, #60 is the draw since it is the only steam engine in the area and it's main attraction. Every year prior to the pandemic, the BR&W would release their schedule of "Steam Days" to promote their passenger service. The days are a small number of weekends due to the crew being volunteers as well as the possibility of a no run for #60 due to unforeseen events which they state on these promotions. It will be interesting to see how things come together for them in the coming months.
